SMITE 2

I have two hands. In one, I hold the gameplay, a solid piece, nothing particularly special. In the other, I hold the company, which seems to have pulled my entire body into the void with its rather unfortunate gravity. While the gameplay Smite 2 is a definite departure from the format of the first title, it isn't fundamentally any worse for it. I think that the changes aren't necessarily anything terrible, though you aren't as spoiled for choice as before. The aspects are a wonderful addition, and generally have a habit of creating new ways to play the same character. All in all, a good amount of changes to explore, and nothing I'm terrifically worried about, though I do have complaints about the UI and visuals at some moments. HOWEVER, The problem lies within the company. We have witnessed a money-focused mindset in many places and in many things before, and I have to say.... I am wholly impressed by the dedication they have thrown into ensuring that everyone felt like they got completely ♥♥♥♥♥♥ by Smite 2. While I'm sure, to many, this is perhaps not news, but.... A token amount of skins have crossed over, and any gems refunded for the prior purchases are worth one half of what they would be. The other half MUST be paid for again, and not with earned currency, with premium. Perhaps, in a couple years, you may amass an eighth of your previous horde of premium currency simply by logging in with dedication and playing. But that would be, by all accounts, a stretch to rival the splits. I cannot recommend that anyone spends any amount of money on this title. I cannot recommend this company be given any funds. This is far and away some of the worst monetization schemes I've witnessed, and while it was never pretty in Smite 1, ramping it up for 2? Simply disgusting.

i enjoy playing the game

Funciona pesimamente.

Fun game. Terrible toxic community.

it's Literally exact same game as Smite 1, just slightly smaller character, or bigger map. Different PoV... Just a money grab... sad to see.. RIP Hi-Rez

Just a reskin to make more money... Do you already own all the gods and a few skins in SMITE? Well, now you have to pay for them again. SMITE was once a MOBA that stood out from the rest. It had gods from different mythologies, a third-person perspective, no auto-aim, and relatively fair microtransactions like the God Pack. But now it feels like the game is slowly sinking. Instead of rewarding existing players, the developers are asking them to pay a second time for things they already owned in SMITE. It feels less like a new game and more like a reskin designed to make more money from the same players.
